A week from today, we were planning to move into our first house. Unfortunately, in the last week, our plans have changed. The people who were selling the house we were going to buy mysteriously changed their minds at the last minute, and now it seems that the deal won't go through. It's a little more complicated than that, but that's probably as much as I should say here.
It's very disappointing, and also frustrating, because as I've mentioned, we had boxed up about half our things, and now we're left with a lot of boxes and nowhere to put them. For now, we'll probably pile them up in the guest room and just hope it won't be too long before we find a house. I'll be deciding what "too long" is based on how many times I have to open one of those boxes to find something ridiculous, like a food processor attachment.
We'll keep you posted on our whereabouts.

Hahaha. Aaron, thank you for that excellent advice from a future law student. What should we pay you for that wisdom? If you're going to be a lawyer, you should start charging people to hear your opinion. That's one thing we've learned in the last week. :)
Thanks, Daniel, and thanks Kelly and Grant. When we do finally have a house, we'll have to have a big party to celebrate.

I'm still really disappointed for you guys... I told my dad about your news today and he said something to the tune of, It's a good time to believe in God's sovereignty. Yes, indeed.

I'm really sorry to hear about the house and know what that feels like. I went through a similar deal when buying my house. After months of waiting I found out I was caught in the middle of divorce dispute and I was the one that had to pull out of the deal. It sucks but trust me there is a better house out there for you. A couple of weeks later I found the house I'm in now and it was worth the wait. Keep your chins up!
